When I published a note a while back about the Tennesse Tea Party wanting to whitewash history texts to remove references to slavery by our founding fathers (LINK), I thought it was a stupid abberation.

But now, it appears that it is a full blown Tea Party Meme (and lie) to rewrite history. Our founding fathers were intelligent men, in many ways years ahead of their time. Unfortunately, on the subject of slavery, this isn't true. Despite the lies of Michele Bachmann to the contrary.
